A driverless shuttle which can carry up to 15 passengers has arrived at Christchurch International Airport.

It's New Zealand's first fully autonomous electric vehicle.

It will soon be trailed on the airport's grounds, starting on private roads with no public involvement.

Once it's proved safe and all regulatory approvals are in place, the airport hopes to move it onto public roads and use it to link various sites around the airport.

The French made shuttle has no steering wheel.
